Heron Breeze - Pet Friendly, Views of Bodega Head, Doran Beach, and the Links

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay and the property was as described. It was nice having a bathroom for each bedroom. Enjoyed the homey feeling - lots of books, little personal knick-knacks. Also loved watching the deer on the golf course, jackrabbits and a quail family with 7 little ones. The only disappointment was a dirty hot tub, which we did not discover soon enough for the owner to be able to do anything about it for us. She was concerned and I‘m confident it was remedied for the next visitors. We recommend the Heron Breeze for its location and spacious accommodations. Thank you!For any of you with gluten concerns, the Fishetarian has many gluten-free options!"
